All our vinyl is cut by hand in the Vinylify store in Amsterdam (Overtoom 228). Our cutting machines date back to the eighties and were developed by a German engineer that loves vinyl as much as we do. Using a combination of a technics 1210 MK2 turntable, and an audio rack that converts the digital sound into analog, we make sure the output sounds great on vinyl. If you have any technical questions about our equipment and how it works, email us on technical@vinylify.com.

Of course, you are always welcome to come by the store. Just let us know when, and one of our specialists will run you through the process.

About us

Vinylify is a start-up initiated by venture-builder Bored of Advisors which started while listening to the crackling sound of golden oldies, on vinyl, from the office jukebox. The golden oldies are great but how cool would it be to put the Katy Perry track, which we usually stream, in the jukebox too? There are almost 20 million tracks available online, so why not on vinyl? That’s when our search started. Ordering in large quantities was possible, but we only needed one unique copy. Eventually, we found a way and finally we had Katy Perry where we wanted her.

With a personalized album cover and an online platform where customers could upload their music and design their covers, we had a concept. We found a way of making personalized vinyl an option to all.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How much will a vinyl record cost me?

One personalized vinyl will cost you 50 euros. Including your unique album cover and the labeling of your record and excluding shipping costs.
What are my payment options?

You can pay using iDeal or PayPal.
How long will it take before my record arrives?

It will take between 3-4 weeks before your record arrives. Creating personalized vinyl from scratch takes time. Your vinyl has to be cut using a manual process, which is constantly supervised. Your album cover and record label need to be printed and assembled in a tidy, attractive and safe package. We will email you with an update when you record is on the way.
Can I also pick up my record instead of getting it delivered?

Sure, why not! Shipping costs and lead times will still apply though. All our vinyl is cut by hand in our store in Amsterdam (Overtoom 228). If you prefer to pick it up, pop us an email so we can plan in a meet up and make sure your record is ready to go.
Can you deliver my vinyl to a different shipping address?

Yip, on the your details page there is an option to choose a different shipping address.
To which countries does Vinylify deliver?

Currently we deliver to all countries in Europe, United States and Canada. But if you live in a country outside of that range, email us and we will see if we can make a plan.
What size will my record be, 7, 10 or 12 inches?

All our records are 10 inches (diameter: 25.4 cm). That way they fit in the post box.
How many minutes of music can I fit on my record?

You can upload 10 minutes of music on each side of your vinyl, so a total of 20 minutes of music.

What quality requirements are there for the sound/images I upload?

The higher the quality of the music and the images you upload the better the result will be. For images we recommend a high-resolution jpeg or png (minimum 1024x1024). For music, using mastered music is the best option, either mp3 (minimum 128kbps, for best results 320kbps), flac or wav files (high bitrate).
Can I put any music I like on my record?

No, music rights apply! We can only cut music to vinyl if you have permission from the original owner/rights holder of the music (master rights). For a more detailed overview of how we go about music rights please refer to our terms and conditions.
My friend/brother/grandma makes music and I want to get a vinyl record made for them as a gift. Is that possible?

Yes, great idea! It’s definitely possible. You just need to double check with the artist if they are happy with you using their music. Usually this isn’t a problem when the gift is for the actual artist. If you want us to deliver the record directly to him/her, put their address down as the shipping address.
Will the sound of my music (or other) files be affected when transcribed to vinyl?

The overall sound will be warmer and rounder, due to the light friction of the record player’s stylus against the grooves. The bass frequencies will be slightly deeper and more present. Very low volume sound will not transfer into the vinyl as clearly, but this can be fixed either on your end by mastering the file, or we can boost the overall volume if needed.
What if my record didn’t turn out the way I wanted it to?

Let us know! We do quality checks throughout the process but everything is done by hand so there is always a chance something can go wrong.
My record just arrived and it’s damaged. What now?

Send a photo and brief description of the damage done to support@vinylify.com so we can have a look and see what went wrong. No need to send this record back to us; there are many creative uses for vinyl, so search for arts and crafts for vinyl records and have fun.
